    50 lb pack! Even at 32 yrs old, that's a lot of weight!

    I think the connotation they were going for was; fit people with a non-standard lifestyle (I.e. marriage, mortgage, 9-5 job)

    They call the actions of these non-standard people "trailing indicators" of the economy yet they don't say anything about how many non-standard people take the same actions at other times. Perhaps there are non-standard people chucking everything and starting off on the AT every year! But that doesn't sell newspapers...
